Fuel Homogenizer: Enhancing Efficiency with IPCO Power

IPCO Power's pioneering fuel homogenizer technology redefines fuel efficiency by reducing fuel droplet sizes to 3 microns or smaller. This advancement offers multifaceted benefits—from significant sludge reduction to optimized combustion—tailored to the specific needs of each installation.

Sludge Reduction

Our technology dramatically enhances the efficiency of centrifuges and filters in removing inorganic contaminants, reducing sludge production by 50% to 80%. This not only increases the yield of usable fuel from your bunker but also extends maintenance intervals for centrifuges and automated filters, enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability.

Combustion Improvement 

By ensuring fuel droplets are consistently 3 microns or smaller, our system significantly improves fuel atomization. This enhanced interaction between fuel and oxygen boosts combustion efficiency, yielding fuel savings of 1–1.5% for 4-stroke engines and 2–2.5% for 2-stroke engines, alongside lower emissions.
​FID Improver 

Water in fuel emulsion

Our solution elevates combustion efficiency and emission control by integrating water into fuel, creating a stable emulsion that enhances atomization. This process leads to more complete combustion, reducing fuel consumption and cutting down on NOx, HC, and PM pollutants. Implemented by leading industry players like Carnival, our FID Injector supports environmental compliance and operational excellence.

What is a Fuel Homogenizer

​A fuel homogenizer is a mechanical system designed to thoroughly mix fuel, ensuring uniformity and stability before it enters the combustion process. Unlike traditional chemical fuel treatments, which rely on additives to break down impurities and improve fuel quality, a fuel homogenizer mechanically processes the fuel. This makes it a more reliable and cost-effective solution for industries dealing with heavy or inconsistent fuel types, such as marine, oil & gas, and power generation.

IPCO's Fuel Homogenizer uses mechanical shearing forces to break down fuel particles, emulsify water, and prevent sludge formation. This mechanical approach ensures a consistent fuel mixture, eliminating the need for expensive chemical additives while providing more effective and long-lasting results.

Why Is Mechanical Fuel Treatment Important?
While chemical fuel treatments are widely known and commonly used, they often come with ongoing costs for chemicals and may not fully resolve issues related to fuel quality. In contrast, mechanical homogenization offers several advantages:
  • No need for chemical additives: Reduces the long-term cost of treating fuel.
  • Improved fuel atomization: Mechanical shearing of particles allows for more efficient combustion, which is harder to achieve with chemicals alone.
  • Better for multiple fuel types: The IPCO Fuel Homogenizer is particularly effective with heavy fuel oil (HFO), marine diesel oil (MDO), marine gas oil (MGO), biofuels (HVO and FAME), and blended fuels. These fuel types, commonly used in marine and industrial applications, often have varying viscosities and compositions that benefit greatly from homogenization. Mechanical treatment ensures a stable fuel mixture, reducing the risk of incompatibility and fuel stratification.

The IPCO Fuel Homogenizer mechanically processes fuel to improve combustion efficiency and reduce maintenance issues. By eliminating the dependency on chemicals, it provides a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for companies looking to optimize fuel performance and reduce emissions.

Key Benefits of IPCO's Mechanical Fuel Homogenization
  • Uniform Fuel Composition: Ensures even fuel mixing, reducing the chance of engine damage due to incompatible or poorly blended fuels.
  • Reduced Emissions: By optimizing fuel combustion, the homogenizer helps reduce harmful emissions such as NOx and particulate matter.
  • Lower Operational Costs: Eliminating the need for chemical additives and reducing maintenance requirements leads to significant cost savings over time.
  • Engine Protection: Reduces sludge formation, carbon deposits, and the likelihood of fuel-related engine failures.
Whether you're using HFO, MDO, MGO, biofuels, or blended fuels, the IPCO Fuel Homogenizer offers a mechanicalalternative that’s both cost-effective and reliable, ensuring your engines run smoothly with optimized fuel performance.
Inside fuel homogenizer
​Key Components for Multiple Fuel Types

Base and Motor: Form the core, providing essential power for homogenization.
Magnetic Coupling: Enables effective rotor motion transfer, enhancing longevity and minimizing maintenance.
Homogenization Chamber: Central to the device, it houses the rotor and stator. Its tailored design ensures versatile fuel processing.
​Biofuel Operations: Combating Filter Clogging
As biofuels (for example HVO and Fame) become more prevalent, their tendency to degrade and cause filter blockages can lead to operational inefficiencies. Both the FID Improver and FID Injector (without water injection) can mechanically stabilize biofuels, preventing fuel separation and ensuring a consistent flow through the system. This significantly reduces the risk of filter clogging, a common issue in biofuel use.

​Our technology maintains biofuel quality, helping to avoid the challenges of fuel instability and oxidation, which are particularly troublesome in long-term storage and high-temperature conditions.
